According to a recent market research report from IHS,
the global installed base of smart meters is currently less than 18
percent of the world’s 1.4 billion installed meters and is expected to
double by the end of 2016. IHS predicts that global advanced meter
shipments will surge in 2015 as advanced metering projects come on line
in Europe and in developing economies, with China being the most
significant market for advanced meters.

Silicon Labs is a leading supplier of wireless technology for AMI
applications including wireless home area networks (HANs) that connect
communicating thermostats and other in-home systems to meters or
gateways, as well as neighborhood area networks (NANs) that aggregate up
to thousands of meters for back haul to the utility provider. Silicon
Labs’ Ember ZigBee and sub-GHz products provide wireless connectivity
solutions for smart meter products from AMI industry leaders such as Landis+Gyr,
Elster,
Itron,
Robulink
and Holley
Metering.

“DistribuTECH provides a focused opportunity to share our wireless
solutions and smart meter application expertise with leading players in
the smart grid industry,” said Diwakar Vishakhadatta, vice president and
general manager of Silicon Labs’ Embedded Systems products. “From
silicon to software, we offer smart meter manufacturers complete
solutions that will help them reduce the cost and complexity of their
AMI applications.”
